Gryffindor Practice Game

Willow kept flying but there was still no sign of the snitch.
 
Sully had been ready to turn and check on Chloë, quaffle in his hands nearly forgotten, but she was tough and Sully grinned when she got right back to chasing him down. He gave a whoop, speeding back off towards the hoops, no time to look to pass this time. He groaned when his shot was blocked again though, dragging a hand through his hair in frustration. "Chloë, what's the secret, aye?" He asked her, only half joking.
 
as willow made her way across the pitch to examine the other set of goals she saw sully making his way towards the goals. but the boy ultimately missed. "Better luck next time Sully" she called as she passed him heading towards the keeper and the goals. he would score next time, she hoped.
 
Trying to keep his cool, Sully gave Willow a thumbs up as she called out some encouragement. He shouldn't be bitter that she'd already caught the snitch once, considering she was on his team and all, but he would have liked to get to show a little on their first practice back.
 
Chloë tried her best to ignore the shooting pain in her shoulder as she scooped up the quaffle when it was thrown back out. "Just immense skills, y'know?" She joked at Sully's question as she flew off again, honestly not even sure herself how she had managed to score twice in a row.
 
Willow kept flying. seaching for the snitch. while she loved being a seeker right now playing as chaser or beater would have been more fun, at least they were doing things. she had almost tried out to be a beater before Lizzy and Syrus had convinced her otherwise back when she was in third year. after playing one game as keeper. the only position she had never wanted to actually be was the chaser. there was no way she was following her mum into that role, sure she enjoyed possing hoops when she was bored just as much as the next person. but there was no way she was playing chaser in a proper match.
She kept flying no sign of the snitch around that goalpost either. she was running out of places to look.
 
Lysander was pretty stoked when Emma managed to hit a bludger. It was just too bad it was at the wrong person. He sucked air through his teeth, but paused to give his best friend a thumbs up before flying off. He flew up closer to Willow, and pointed in a random direction in the sky. "Woah! Is that the snitch?" He shouted, pretending he hadn't noticed her.
 
After flying a small lap Chloë now started making her way towards the scoring area. She looked around her a couple of times to see how close the other chaser's were to her as she tried to keep the quaffle safe.
 
Sierra giggled at Lysander trying to distract Willow, before realizing that it was distracting her too. Shaking her head to try focus herself, Sierra continued to look for the snitch.
 
Willow hears someone shout snitch she looked and saw Lysander pointing towards the sky. she looked up and sure enough, there was a glint up there. She leaned forward and shot towards it. watching as it moved away from her. she tried to keep up following it in a zig-zag pattern until it zagged stright between her and the sun and in that moment of blindness, it vanished again.
blinking and heart racing she turned around to find the young beater. "umm tip for the next game summers. don't point the snitch out to the opposing seeker" she said a joke in her tone. before sticking her tongue out at him.
 
Lysander definitely hadn't seen any snitch, but he was glad Willow had lost it. Or he wasn't, because in a real game that would be bad. It was so confusing to know how to feel. Instead he laughed and continued to find a bludger.
 
Chloë managed to keep the quaffle safely locked under her arm as she sped up towards the hoops, getting ready to throw. Her shoulder definitely didn't agree with her action and she wasn't surprised when her attempt was easily caught by their keeper. She wasn't disappointed either. Her previous two attempts had been solid and since she was new on the team she was glad that at least she'd been able to show her teammates (and herself) that she could do it.
 
Noel was impressed when Chloe had managed to score twice! Team Gold needed to better and he needed. Sully missed his attempt too. But Chloe was hit by a bludger so perhaps just like Noel had been hit they had some chance now. It was not nice to see others hurt, but it was part of the game. Noel grinned and took posession of the quaffle when it was tossed back. “ What’s the secret of Christian you mean.” He than said a bit louder as he passed Sully. And moved om for hopefully an succesfull attempt.
 
Willow was still chuckling as she flew away from lysander.deciding to do a lap of the pitch slowly hoping that she would find the snitch again soon.
 
Chloë laughed at Noel's remark about their keeper. It was definitely true though, she was sure the chasers were trying as hard as they could and Christian definitely seemed to be on his A-game. As Noel flew off with the quaffle she flew in his direction, shadowing him as he moved around the pitch.
 
Willow kept flying
Continuing her lap of the pitch
Her eyes were spying
Trying to find the snitch.
 
Noel came closer to the hoops, he tried to spot Sully and thought of passing the quaffle towards the boy. But he needed to make sure that Chloe was not coming in between. Also Noel would want to try it himself, he wanted to score badly. And he had to practice his aim.
 
Lysander spotted a bludger and swung his bat as he reached it, only for it to shoot away from where he was aiming.
 
Chloë continued to follow Noel around. She wasn't sure if he was even planning on passing the quaffle to Sully, but she wasn't going to let that happen and tried her best to make difficult for them.
 
Willow flew and looked around
cutting across the pitch of green.
after a golden ball, she needed found
but not a glimmer could be seen.
 
Sully tried to keep up with Chloë as she went in for another shot, conflicted when she missed, even if it made him feel a little better about himself. "Nah man, Chloë's got the skills," He called to Noel, trying to get in at a good angle as Noel grabbed the quaffle, though Chloë wasn't making it easy.
 
Lysander slowed down to watch the other players, pausing to give his arm a rest.
 
(finallly!!)

Noel was grinning shortly at Chloe. But he would go for an shot himself he looked at Sully to his side and than made an attempt and finally the quaffle went through. '' Yeah! I got skills, thankfully too.'' Noel than said with an grin. He put up his hand and flew close to Sully to give an high five. He had scored it took long but you should never give up.
 
Sully cheered when Noel managed to score, even though he couldn't help but feel another spike of jealousy that now it was just him and Knox letting chaser squad down. He returned Noel's high five though, eagerly waiting as Christian threw the quaffle back in.
 
Chloë smiled when Noel managed to get one through as well, happy for it to be another point for team chaser but focussing back on the competition when she remembered it was also ten points for team gold. She scooped up the quaffle as she flew past the others, glad that the pain in her shoulder was easing, and looked around to see if she could pass it to Knox so he could have another go at it.
